A bow can be both a blessing and a burden. The blessings: - Silent kills. - You can retrieve your ammo if it was a single zombie. - Can set fire to arrows for more uses.
The burdens: - Takes extreme skill to hit the head, let alone hit the brain. Most skulls will halt that arrow and then you've got yourself noticed. You'd have to shoot into an eye socket or a temple. - Wind and gravity must be taken into account, especially since you're probably not going to be on flat land, nor will you probably very close. - Arrows can be hard to find post looters and such. Unless you can make your own arrows, your private supply will grow dull, break, etc. Like wise you're string can break and you'd need another one which might be hard to find.
Overall, unless you're an expert on everything bow related I'd stay away. Especially since you'll probably not need to use it often.

Wouldnt you just have a zombie with an arrow in his head coming at you? And if you set the arrow on fire well, you'd just have a zombie with an arrow through his his head that is now set on fire. That wouldnt kill him. I mean think about it... People like you n me have gotten rods through their head & lived! [depending on what parts it damaged] So unless the arrow completely obliterated the head or hit a certain spot in the brain, i think it would still be "alive"...right? I mean if it worked, thats great! You can retreive that amo depending on the circumstance/if you REALLY wanted to xp I dunno, maybe i missed something. Even if it did work, i think it would be a rare to none shot to kill it though lol

to the equation "Arrows + Zombies =?" the anwser would be "useless" the anwser is useless because 1 Arrows are useless without a bow or crossbow and 2 Zombies are too stupid to use then anyway! to change this equation to make more sence we would say "Fully loaded, Bow weilding Zslayer + Zombie at 20M =?" now we solve useing algebra! WxG+N to the 3rd power=PQR PQR angles down at 2* per M and the effect is accelerated accordingly to WxG W=4mph at East SE and G=1neton per gram assuming that the arrow wheighs 2 mg give now that W=4 with a 3* variable to the right and G=1.334* per M you can figure that your bolt would fall about 2 1/2 inches and go right 9* by the time the bolt or arrow leaves the bow or crossbow and hits the target so instead of hitting "dead" (heh heh Z humor) center you need to move Left 1 5/16 of a notch and up about 3-3 3/5 of a notch in your scope biggrin I hope your brain doesn't hurt because you need to think faster than normal to calculate allow space for the unknown verables like the zombie closing in on you and firerate-to-run ratio

Hint* You are sure to hit them point blank with it; also, a good archer only takes 1/2 a second to reload- just don't take on to many at once...
Furthermore- I had a 120 Lb crossbow rip through and through a buck. it ripped out some of his entrails! absolutely more damage then any civilian round 3nodding
